Trump Says Mexico’s President Agrees to Halt Illegal Immigration

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday evening that he had a “wonderful conversation” with Mexico’s far-Left President Claudia Sheinbaum about tackling illegal immigration and the drug crisis plaguing both nations. The call marked a significant shift in rhetoric and policy commitments from Mexico’s leadership, following Trump’s firm warnings about potential tariffs if action wasn’t taken against drug cartels and the unchecked flow of migrants.

“She has agreed to stop migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border,” Trump said. He described the discussion as “very productive” and emphasized the urgency of addressing the drug epidemic as well.

According to Trump, Mexico’s commitment to halting the movement of migrants toward the U.S. border will take effect immediately, a move he says will significantly reduce the “illegal invasion” of the United States. Sheinbaum confirmed this in her own statement, calling the conversation “excellent” and highlighting plans to collaborate on security issues while respecting national sovereignty.

In addition to immigration, the leaders discussed the alarming rise of fentanyl abuse. Trump revealed that his incoming administration will launch a large-scale advertising campaign to educate Americans on the dangers of the drug.

“By the time the campaign is over, everyone will know how really bad the horror of this drug is,” Trump said, underscoring the administration’s commitment to curbing both the supply and demand of fentanyl.

Sheinbaum also emphasized Mexico’s own efforts to prevent fentanyl consumption within its borders.

This call follows Trump’s well-documented hardline stance on Mexico. He recently threatened steep tariffs on Mexican goods unless the country cracked down on drug cartels and illegal migration. This strategy appears to have compelled Sheinbaum to cooperate, marking a major win for Trump even before his official return to the White House.

Key points from Trump’s border strategy include:

• Halting illegal migration at its source, with Mexico enforcing stricter measures within its borders.

• Targeting drug cartels responsible for trafficking deadly narcotics like fentanyl.

• A national campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of drug use, particularly fentanyl.

Trump’s promise to restore border security was a centerpiece of his campaign, and this latest development signals swift action as his administration prepares to take office in January.

While Sheinbaum’s alignment with Trump’s policies may raise eyebrows given her far-left political stance, the shared urgency to address these crises reflects the scale of the challenge both nations face.

With firm commitments now in place, the real test will be whether these promises translate into measurable results.
